Restorative justice has made significant progress in recent years
and now plays an increasingly important role in and alongside the
criminal justice systems of a number of countries in different
parts of the world. In many cases, however, successes and failures,
strengths and weaknesses have not been evaluated sufficiently
systematically and comprehensively, and it has been difficult to
gain an accurate picture of its implementation and the lessons to
be drawn from this. Restorative Justice in Practice addresses this
need, analyzing the results of the implementation of three
restorative justice schemes in England and Wales in the largest and
most complete trial of restorative justice with adult offenders
worldwide. It aims to bring out the practicalities of setting up
and running restorative justice schemes in connection with criminal
justice, the costs of doing so and the key professional and ethical
issues involved. At the same time the book situates these findings
within the growing international academic and policy debates about
restorative justice, addressing a number of key issues for criminal
justice and penology, including: how far victim expectations of
justice are and can be met by restorative justice aligned with
criminal justice whether 'community' is involved in restorative
justice for adult offenders and how this relates to social capital
how far restorative justice events relate to processes of
desistance (giving up crime), promote reductions in reoffending and
link to resettlement what stages of criminal justice may be most
suitable for restorative justice and how this relates to victim and
offender needs the usefulness of conferencing and mediation as
forms of restorative justice with adults. Restorative Justice in
Practice will be essential reading for both students and
practitioners, and a key contribution to the restorative justice
debate.
